At the Qingyun Martial Arts Academy, in the first class of the third year, students conversations increasingly revolved around their peers who had made notable progress in their aura cultivation.
"Have you heard about the genius in the neighboring class?" one student asked his peer excitedly. "His aura affinity has reached level 6! He's practically a third-level genius!"
"Someone with a level 6 aura affinity at this age? That's rare!" the other replied in astonishment. "If I had such an affinity, I would have made rapid progress in cultivation..."
In a corner of the classroom, a young man with black hair sat silently, gazing at the blackboard as if lost in deep thought. His name was Long Chen, and he paid no attention to the conversations around him. His mind was preoccupied with something much larger than mere aura affinity.
The Planet Earth world was not an ordinary planet. In the past, it resembled the Earth Long Chen knew from his previous life. However, a hundred years ago, a radical change occurred. A mysterious meteorite fell from the sky, leading to massive changes in the world.
The aura, a mysterious energy present everywhere, began to flow more strongly, allowing humans to use it to enhance their physical and mental abilities. Over time, humans developed methods to measure their affinity for this aura and categorized it into multiple levels:
- Level 1 (Grades 1-3): Called ordinary talent.
- Level 2 (Grades 4-6): Called outstanding talent.
- Level 3 (Grades 7-9): Called genius talent.
- Level 4 (Above 9): Considered legendary or mythical.
However, as animals evolved in response to these changes (fierce beasts), humans tried to combat them with thermal weapons, but the appearance of the aura rendered these weapons ineffective. The aura destroyed the structure of thermal weapons, making them incapable of performing their intended functions. Consequently, even nuclear bombs, once the ultimate weapon, became mere scraps of iron.
Humanity suddenly entered an era of cold weapons, with the weak relying on cold weapons to fight the fierce beasts. Fortunately, the beasts on Earth were all low-level, giving humans a chance to survive.
After extensive research, scientists discovered that the new mysterious materials on Earth could be utilized by humans, leading to the emergence of a new profession: the warrior.
In such a harsh environment, humanity's survival depended on gradually discovering their own potentials and finding ways to become stronger. Cultivate the aura, understand survival in battle, and become stronger!
With the rise of powerful warriors, humans gained a foothold in this dangerous world.
Now, over a hundred years later, aura cultivation methods had long become commonplace, even becoming a mandatory course for every student. After all, only by becoming a warrior could one barely have the ability to protect oneself.
Long Chen, although lacking high aura affinity, possessed another advantage. He was actually a time traveler with memories from another world and another life. In his previous world, there was no aura, but technology was highly advanced. Although he couldn't fully utilize the aura in this new world, his mind was brimming with ideas.
[Ding! Congratulations, the host has successfully activated the Infinite Deduction System!]
[This system can deduce everything in the world, requiring computational power to make deductions!]
[Upon the first activation of the system, you will receive a free discount. Please make use of this opportunity!]
As Long Chen sat in his class, a voice rang in his mind. The system he had since birth, which could deduce anything, had activated after all this time, provided he had sufficient computational power. Long Chen quickly realized that relying solely on himself for computational power would be insufficient.
His aura affinity was currently at a low level, so he hadn't yet progressed to the first world of the cultivation system.
He thought of a different approach. What if he could connect all human minds into one network, similar to the internet in his previous world? If he could achieve that, he could gather computational power from millions of human minds and use it to achieve unprecedented deductions.
"If I can connect all of humanity into one network, I would be able to deduce the most powerful cultivation techniques, the best training methods, and anything else I want," he thought.
The idea was exciting, but its implementation required caution. He couldn't openly request people to join his network.
Long Chen continued to plan the details and improve areas where things might go wrong. Over time, as the network developed, he would be able to attract more people to it without revealing his true identity. Long Chen would remain behind the scenes, controlling everything from the shadows.
That night, Long Chen sat in his room, closed his eyes, and summoned the Deduction System. "Begin deduction. I want to design a network that connects all human minds."
The process was complex, but Long Chen was determined to succeed. This was his first step toward controlling his destiny in this new world.
